Taking the Smash Burger To The Next Level

This smash burger recipe is loaded up with my secret meat blend and is seared to perfection with melted American cheese, special sauce, and toppings on a toasted bun. Once you try it, this will hands down be your new favorite burger recipe

The smash burger is a burger patty that is created by a ball of seasoned ground beef being smashed down on a griddle using a press that helps compress and flavor and cook faster. It is then served up on a toasted bun with sauce, tomato, onion, pickles, and lettuce. It is a delicious burger, and it cooks in way less time than a traditional burger.

While most people associate this with the Smash Burger restaurant, it originated in Ashland, Kentucky at the Dairy Cherry Burger Shop by a man named Bill Cullerton. He created it by smashing burgers with a no 10 can of beans and discovered that it brought out a lot of flavors and cooked very quickly. It has become more popularized in the last 10 to 15 years across restaurants in the United States.
